Shameless is a full story in a small and fulfilling package. With an equal balance between sexiness and plot, there is plenty to pull you into their dynamic—he the brother’s best friend and she the off-limits friend’s little sister—and involve you in the implosion of their feelings and the turning point of their decades-long friendship. It was a wonderful short story that had great sexual appeal and enough depth to the main characters for readers to really feel and grasp their connection. And because it’s Cherrie Lynn, I’ll always wish for more of her written word and, if anything, I could’ve read another two-hundred pages of this story and been just as blissfully entranced—if not more so.
